Two days of consistent Team performances with no blanks assured Anglo Welsh FF finished in 3rd place on Day 1 and 1st Place on Day 2 to take the covetted title of 2012 Lexus Team Champions. In fact, they were so consistent, even if they had a blank - which would count as 132 place points against them; they would still have been Champions!
In 2nd place for the 3rd consecutive year, were the ever consistent Rio Masters team and in 3rd place were Margam FF from Wales.
This year, the Team matches have been fished to FIPS Mouche World Championship rules, where all individuals' positions in the match are added together and the Team with the least place points are crowned Champions.
This format suits the more consistent teams and no longer can 1 individual's performance carry their team through.
Most of the competitors enjoyed the new format and most importantly, more Teams entered this year than last.
Cliff Waters will have full pics from both the Team and the Indiviedual Finals on his "Fishy Pics" web site.
